Default Correct position of thermostat for central heating

just moved to a "new" house.

Rads have TRV's ..... There is a wall thermostat in the hall at bottom
of the stairs ... and NO radiator.

So ......... if I set the hall thermostat to 20deg and I wish the
other rooms to be the same temperature (20 deg) with doors shut, I can
control rooms with TRV's .... right ?

So what happens when the rooms reach 20deg? I assume the TRV's shut
the water feed to the rads.

So what is happening in the hall and the upstairs landing space etc ?
Hot air rises so will the boiler keep grinding away until it is 20deg
is reached at the bottom of the stairs from the top ? I do not really
want it that warm up there.

If I set the thermostat lower .... then the rooms will not reach 20deg
.... methinks.

Is the thermostat in the right place ?
